1061 Riverside Avenue housed the Museum from 1948-1965
A young Madge Wallace is shown here. In 1910 she
began exhibiting a small naturalist collection in her classroom at New Riverside School. The collection was
from her own backyard. This classroom museum would eventually evolve into the Jacksonville Children’s Museum.
MOSH’s Naturalists have offered hands-on learning opportunities
for decades.
These opossums were part of the living collection
in 1967.
